Application filed December 24, l906. Serial No. 349,204.

neer, have invented certaii'i new and useiul' Improvements Relating to Caslislteceiving end ChangdMaking Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to cash-receiving and change-making mscl'iines of the type described in the specification of British Letters Patent 16,577 I of N03, wherein the change or difference delivered after deducting the amount of the sale or purchase from the amount or coin tendered in aynient thereof and wherein a selective fee inglinger serves to set the mechanism for operanictuate a rocking frame. that operates the selective mechanism pertaining to the coin ejector, the objects of the present i111prove ments being to render the machine more efiicient and reliable in its action, to prevent the operation of the machine except when authorized, and to simplify the mechanism general y.

In working machines of the class herein referred to a certain amount of difliculty has been experienced in operating the key-levers so as to insure their full operation and to prevent retraction when only completely do pressed or operated.

n order that the saidv 'in\ ention may be y understood and readily carried into we 'wiii proceed to describe the same with refer" 'e to the acconn'ianying drawings, in winch Figure 1 a vertical section. of a cash receiving and change-making machine em bodying the present inventioi'i, it being understood that all the meel'ianisrn pertaining to the machine is not included, but so much only as is.- necessary for the purpose of illustrsting my improvements. Figs. 2 and 3 are detached views of the means for locking the key-levers and rocking frame, the former figure shownig the parts in their normal 01" inoperative positions and the latter figure showing the parts in the positions they occupy upon the depression oi one or more of the key-levers and the movement of the rocking frame.

Fig. $32 is a view in edge elevation olone ol" the rocking levers adapted to move one of the comb-bars. Fig. 33 is a view in side elevation ot'the rocking lever shown at Fig. 32.

According to this invention the machine is provided with means whereby upon commoncing the depression ol two, three, or more key-levers oi dill'erent deimminations their locking is ell'ected, so that by continuing to depress one of the said levers the two, three, or more of the latter so locked and partially depressed will be carried down, the machine also being provided with means wherebv the whole oi t e levers other than those in course of being depressed or operated are locked or held against depression or operation. ln this connection the inner extremity of each key-lever u. is notched or l ormed with two horns 11. (1/, adapted to engage inwardly-projecting ribs I), l'ormed on the adjacent edges ol' two plates,whereolone, 1*, is hung from the end ol the rocking trained, and the other, e, is pivoted in the l'rame (1 ol' the machine. Upon the slotted back plate c, through which the rea' ends of the rocking l'rame r/ and the several key-levers (1 pass, is mounted a guidebar c, between which and the aforesaid slotted plate a are placed [)Iojeetions or pins 1, Figs. 1, 2, 3', and 4-, arranged laterally on the pendent or hanging .The pivoted plate 1" is controlled by tailpieees c", against which the pendent plate c works in its upward and downward movements. 'lhe al'oresaid slotted back plate c, or an attaclunent thereon, and the guide-bar c" are arranged in such a manner as to constitute a cam-slot Upon the depression ol" a lever or ol' two or'more levers (1/ the rocking l'rame'd is simultane'ously actuated by means ol' the rod or bar :1: bearing thereon, and the upper or pendent plate c carried thereby is caused to rise. The latrib ol' the pendent plate 0, however, owing to the cam-slot a, is held inengagement with the levers (L which were primarily depressed, and by continuing to operate or depress one of such levers the two, three, or other number thereof are depressed to their full extent. When the operated lever or levers a returns or return to its or their normal position, the lateral projections or pins (7 on the pendent plate c within the tam-slot cause the said plate to be moved outwardly,a similar move-' ment ol the pivoted plate c also taking place as the resust ol" the pendent plate c acting against a tailpiece c", Figs. 2,3, and 4, carried on the outer side oi" the pivoted plate c, whereupon the several levers a are unlocked and ready l'or being subsequently operated. By thus locking the key-levers which are required to be operated in accordance with the amount ol' the sale or purchase the depression ol' one ol' the said levers ell'ects the depression ol the others, and by looking all the remain ing key-levers (those not required for immediate operation) their dtpression is etl'ectually prevented. The machine is hereby rendered more certain and reliable in its action and more easily operated.

in order to prevent the return of the rec/king l'rame until a complete stroke or depression ol' the key-lever a has been made, the

said rocking trained is provided with a pivoted piece d, t'ormed or provided with two lateral projections or pawls (1, adapted to engage teeth l'ornied on a qtnnlrantal bar or rack d", whereol" the are is struck l'rom the center ol' the pivot (1 ot' the rocking l'rame (l, the said bar or rack (1" being fixed in or to the l'rainework'ol t he machine. The distance between the projections or pawls We! on the pivoted piece (I is etplivalent to the length of nmvement ol' the rocking l'ramed at the point where the pivoted piece is situated. 'lhe qnadrantal rack 11 is prel'erably about double the length ol' stroke re uiredot the pivoted piece, each half of the rack being provided with teeth oppositely arranged, (see Figs. 2 and 3,) the teeth in the one half being adapted for engagement with the projection d on the pivoted piece d 'on the upstroke of the frame (2, while the other half is adapted for engagement with the "projection (l' on the pivoted piece on the return movement ol' the said frame. The said pivoted pieced is provided with a spring-controlled catch or plunger (1. adapted topas --and be engaged upon cted cetchi, Figs. 7 and 8,

opposite sides of e knife-edge or 't. shepcd stud d carried by the rocking ifarne d. Upon the depression. of a key-lever c and the con sequent operation of the rocking frame (1 the ii-shnped stud d is engaged by the catch d and owing to the engagement of or in, a, oi" the projections on the pivoted piece d with the teeth. in the lower part of the rack. d the rocking frame d is prevented from being returned. The quadrantel bar or rock (i is provided with lateral projecthmsor pins (1", so that upon the ncconnglislnnent ol" the full s rolte the pivoted piece (2 is m oved pivo tally to engage the opposite side of the stud d and, on the one hand, to allow the free down ward movement of the inner end of the rocking frame (2, and, on the other hand, to allow the engagement of one of the projections or pa wls tl'iereon. with the rack, end thereby prevent the retracting of the rocking frame. The notion of the rocking frame and the keylever br-aing thus locked together are thereby rendered positive and once commenced the operation must be carried through.

For regulating the stroke of the key-levers and equalizing the pressure thereon a. braking device is provided (see Fig. 1) comprising a plunger), mounted in guides on the sideof the rocking frame and provided with a friction hczidf, adapted. to bear against a stand ztlll f-, having a curved l'riction-surfecef whereof the are is struck from the center of thepivot d of the rocking frame 6,. The end of the plunger remote from the head bears against one arm of pivoted L-shnivcd lever f, the free end of the latter being subjected to pressure by s rod f, which is controlled by it spring f, The rod f carries it roller f in enge enient with levorf, and whereby lriction is diminished. Upon the depression of one of the key-levers a and the consequent operation-oi the rocking frame (Z theplunger fis moved in. frictional engagement along the surface f, and its the depression of the lever proceeds the resistance oliered by the springeontrolled plunger increases. Thus the pressure necessary for operating the keylevers is equalized during the entire stroke. An even movement of the key-levers is secured. by this arrangement, the spring counteracting the pressure exerted by tie operator onthe keyJeVeI-s.

i he machine may b prov' ed with e pivably nrrenged i 2 rclnr M1 to the rocking front d, so that the letter iney be locked and therewith the key-- levers n. Then the hey-levers and the rock ble of open d by e Hit :1 tion wl'ien the catch is ectn key, the loclringczttch i being is zrebly sirronn'cd in the interior of the new The device comprises e lever 'i', pivot; l 2" on the coin-plate i" end htgvinp; ill wedge slntpcd stud i adapted to be or ed by a ;-oontrollcd pawl 2,, carried o the said coin-plate i, the movement of the lever being limited by suiteblvpositioned stops i i.

The change system comprises the key-leing to the key-levers out of elinement, so

that the corresponding coins are not ejected which correspond with the value of the kevlevers whiclrniey be depressed. 'lhe comb bars are arranged in proximity to pendent pivotelly-niounted levers or hangers p, the letter depending from and loosely mounted on the bar '1) thro slots in the frame n and between rorked projections 0 on the bars 0, carried. by the bars- 0 norrmlly in line with coin-ejectors q, working on the coin-plate-q; Some of the endent levers p are adopted to be',rn0 ved* aterelly by the corresponding errnsto out of alinernent with the projections q, and when-ell of the pond entlevers p are moved by the frame it only such as are not laterally moved and are still in elinenient engage the projections q and actuate the corresponding ejectors. In

addition to the comb-bars 0 havin com shaped or beveled extremities 0, there are arranged combs O, E 12 and 13, having curved or [intended teeth 0thet 1s to say,

teeth not provided with beveled extremities.

The combs o are pivoted on L-shaped levers 0 so that .the curved or flat teeth 0 of the combs rest over their respective key-levers a. The L-shaped levers 0 are pivoted at one end at o" to the su port 0 and their other ends sup )orted by t keys. 'Ihere me two L-slmped lovers 0, with their respective combs o and 0 the latter of which is intended to be elevated or operated bythe si xpenny-lever only and the former to be elevated or opera ed by the several levers )erteininn to thc shillings. 'lhus the combs lowing beveled extremities opcrnl'e the comb-hers 0, while those having hurved or Intended teeth operate the L-shnped levers o when. the sixpence key-lever is depressed.

The end 0 of each L-sheped lever proi arranged to engage the; beveled ends o of the comb bnrs o. 'llhesix'penny rocking piece o" is psitionod to engage all the p nnydmrs o, and when the said rocking piece 0 operated as the result of depressing the Pi penny-lever the combs pertaining to the copper pendent levers p are thrown out of alinement with their ejeetors. so that the ejectors pertaining thereto are not operated. The rocking piece o" for the shilling-levers engages the sixpenny-silver beveled combbar 0, which bar when in operation actuates the sixpe1my-silver pendent lever 1, said rocking piece o having a lateral projection 0" extending over the sixpei'my-oop- )er rocking piece 0", sothat when the shilling rocking piece 0 is operated it also imparts similar movement to the sixpenny copper rocking piece 0 so that as the result of depressing the shilling key-lever the ejectors pertaining tothe copper and the sixpence are not operated.

When the siXpenny-lever a is operated singly, l 18 and Y19, the rear part of the said lever by elevating the sixpenny L- shaped lever 0" will cause the'siXpenny-copper rocking "piece 0 to engage and longitudinally move all the bars 0 and the bars 0 and therewith move the sixpen'ny-copper pendent levers pout of alinement withthe respective eoin-ejectors'q, the coins in front of these ejeetors being then not subjected to ejection.

VVhen one of the shillings key-levers is operated, the rear part of the lever by elevating the shilling L-shaped lever 0 Fig. 17, will cause the siXpenny-silvcr rocking piece o to engage and move the bars 0 and the bars 0" and move the siXpenny-silver pendent lever 29 out of alinement with the siXpenny-silv'er ejector q, and the projection 0, Fig. 12, on

the rocking piece 0, operating on the sixpenny-copper rocking piece 0 will cause a similar movement of the pendent levers p for the copper cjectors, the coins in front of those cjectors remaining in the machine.

The combs '0 on the L-shaped levers 0 are respectively connected by hooks 0 to springretained bevel swinging cams 0 Fig. 19, which are pivoted to their respective combbars 0 and placed with their bevcls similarly to the bevels on the said comb-bars; the sixpenny 'bevclswinging cam 0 being pivoted.

to the sixpcnny-silver comb-bar 0 and the shilling bevel swinging cam 0 being pivoted at 0 to the stalling-silver comb-bar 0, Figs. 13 and 17. The sixpenny-comb o is connected by a link 0"; Fig. 19, carrying the connecting-hook 0"", to a spring-retained bevel.- eomb o pivoted to the frame 0 ol' the machine, so as to-normally register with the hali'pennydever a. When the said halfpenny-levmis depressed, the rear part thereof will engag the bevel of and impart a lateral movemei'it to the bevel-comb o, a similar movement being transmitted through. the link 0 to the comb 0" on the L-shaped piece 0" and causing the said comb to be moved out of alineinent with. the six eii1iy-lover a. The hook 0' on the link 0 engaging the bevel swinging cam 0? on the sixpenny comb-bar 0 will bring the hook-connected bevel-cam 0" into position over the siXpenny-lever a, so that when the siXpenny-lcver and the halfpenny-lever are simultaneously depressed the swinging comb 0" will be thrown out of and the bevel swinging cam 0 will be brought into the path of the sixpenny-levcr c. The siXpenny-silver pendent lever a will then be out of alinement with the sixpennyejector q, and the halfpenny pendent lever will also be out of alinement with the hallpenny-ejector. Consequently those coins will remain in the machine. When any one of the penny-levers is operated in conjunction with any one of the shilling-lcvers, the operation of the change mechanism is similar to the operation above described, in which the halfpenny lever is operated in conjunction with the siXpenny-lever.

The ten-shilling lever a when operated singly acts on theflat or curved end 0 ,Fig. 141, of a slotted piece 0, which is capable of both a longitudinal and a swinging 1novement and is adapted to be moved by the rocking piece 0 which is normally in alinement with the siXpenny-silver rocking piece 0 and the sixpenny-copper rocking'plece o and also all the shilling comb-bars, with the exception of the ten-shilling comb-bar, caus ing all pendent levers representing ten shillings in silver and copper to be thrown out of alinement with their coin-ejectors. (.onsequcntly those coins are not ejected, but re main in the machine.

The bar 0 when operated upon by any levcr other than the ten-shilling lever will place the beveled swinging piece or cam 0 on the ten-shilling comb-bar 0 in position to be'operated upon' by the ten-shilling lever. The bar 0 is so arranged as to act upon the said rocking piece 0 and by resting on all the other levers to be elevated when said lovers are operated. The bar 0 is furnished with a roller 0 for engaging with the cam end of rocking piece 0 The bar 0 when operated upon by any lever will move the bevel swinging cam 0 above and in the path of the ten-shilling combbar o and in position to be operated upon by the said ten-shilling lover. The ten-shilling pendent lever p will then, upon the depression of the ten-shilling keylevcr in conjunction with any of the other key-levers, be thrown out of alinement with the ten-shilling-gold ejector, and the pendent levers p, corresponding with the operated shillings and copper lovers, will be similarl a'l'lected, thus permitting coins corresponding with the amount on the levers depressed to remain in the machine.

ielerring to Fig. 21, the hali'penny-ejector 1 com n'ises two )lZLtBS rovided res )ectively, with lugs g g, the latter lug, (1, projecting from the plate g" through a slot 9 in the plate 9 When the machine is operated plates may be actuated-for ejecting one coin.

For the purpose of ejecting tn of the aforesaid come the plate 1 is arranged in an openmg 1 between the plate 9 (1 sothat upon "the operation of the one or the other of the lugs 9 the plate 9 Will be turned laterally and. not subjected to a forward movement; but when both lugs g g are actuated sim ltaneously the. plate 11 will be engaged by both plates Q7 g and t e coins held in the apertures g of the respective plates ejected from the machine. Referring to Fig. 23, the ejector here shown is. for use in ejecting a single coin, and. its construction will be readily understood, the lug being carried by a plate or slide iorme with an aperture g for the rece tion of the coin.
